My work gave everyone a thermometer. They asked us to record out temperature 2 times a day.
Guess were the thermometer is from.

Yeah I thought the whole temp testing thing wasn't really being done anymore since this can be transmitted asymptomatically...
Certainly better than nothingI mean isn't it better than nothing as long as it isn't used as a justification to not implement other protective measures (e.g. proper PPE, social distancing capability in the workplace, etc.)/provides a false sense of security? Early detection and of infection and isolation for the portion of people that will be symptomatic is just one more layer of protection.
At minimum, regularly recording your temperature gives you a better idea of your normal body baseline temperature so you have a better idea when you might be getting a low-grade fever. I took my temperature daily for a few weeks and found my body temperature is typically quite low (in the mornings typically 96.6-97F, about 1 degree warmer in the evening). A body temp of 99.5F for me might mean I am getting a low-grade fever even if I don't hit the 100.4F typical cutoff.
Perhaps I should've said "better than not" rather than "nothing."Certainly better than nothing

The secret to getting out of school was to get a verdict from the school nurse. If the nurse sends you home, parents are much more likely to believe you're sick. The secret to defeating the school nurse was to claim a severe migraine, blurred vision, cover up your eyes and say the light hurts..etc. There was no way for a nurse to disprove it..nurse puts you in a dark room for 20 minutes then asks if it still hurts afterwords. Say yes and you're sent home.IR thermometer where you take your temperature in your ear.??
Or an old mercury thermometer and you take your temperature the baby way.??
I would put the thermometer against a light bulb until it hits 120, then show it to the boss....On second thought, I tried that to get out of school once. Mom didn't buy it...
Migraine was the ticket.
Care to point me to the part of my posts that stated this was done by me? You won't find it. Not my first rodeo.So, you checked off the "history of frequent migraines" on the FAA medical form, right?

Defeating the parents was doable too. You had to pin it on equipment failure though. State your alarm clock failed to work. Parents will then immediately test it. If it fails to work, you're off the hook, and they just complain about cheap overseas electronics.
The secret to failing the alarm clock was to disassemble it and disconnect the speaker. You couldn't use this trick too often though....and you needed to live in a house where your parents worked 12 hour shifts (through the night).
You could stay up late..parents at work...all is well. They'd come home around 6am (prior to your wakeup time) and immediately pass out..and then you'd just all sleep in. Once parent would awake around 2PM and discover you're still home..you blame that alarm clock.
It could lead to reportable issues..I don’t think faking to get out of school is a reportable issue

Reminds me of the old joke: Q: How can you tell the difference between an oral and rectal thermometer? A: The taste.
A third grader not wanting to goto school is an indicator of character issues with that third grader? Uh huh.Perhaps not, but it does go a ways to indicate character.

Glad I decided to spend some time contributing on this forum today. Doubt I'll make that mistake tomorrow.
I copy and pasted. Adding a smiley to the end of a ridiculous statement does not change the statement. Anyhow, I assure you...that I am not a "victim" of you..nor will I ever be. I'm done with this thread. If you want to take it up with me further, feel free to drop me a DM.Curious why you would ignore, then take the trouble to trim out, the smiley guy emoji... Perhaps it plays well to the victim mentality on display here?
With temporal forehead thermometers I thought you were supposed to sweep it across the artery?At the nursing home, they take temps as the employees drive in. I pull up and roll my window down and the guy sticks the thermometer on my forehead and clicks the button... it must’ve read too high the first go around so he asks if I have my heat on in the car. As a matter of fact it was on low. I stick my head out into the cool breeze just a smidge and he takes it again and waves me through. It’s really a joke.
That is the kind.Unless it's a contact-less infrared. In that case they're supposed to aim it at your forehead and pull a trigger, not touch it.
